Produced By Conference -- Major US Industry Event
The Produced By Conference is the annual gathering of the Producers Guild of America, held each June in Los Angeles, providing professional development and networking for film and television producers.
Overview
The Produced By Conference is the annual gathering of the Producers Guild of America (PGA). Founded in 2009 and held each June in Los Angeles, the conference brings together thousands of film and television producers for two days of panels, workshops, networking, and industry conversations.
The conference is not a film festival in the conventional sense -- it does not screen films competitively. Rather, it is the most important annual gathering of the production community in Hollywood, providing access to the agents, executives, financiers, and technology companies that producers work with throughout the year.
The conference's programming includes sessions on financing, distribution, technology, labor relations, creative development, and the business of production. Senior executives from major studios, streaming platforms, and production companies regularly participate as speakers and panelists.
Key Sections
- Main Stage -- keynotes and major panel discussions
- Breakout Sessions -- specialized workshops on production topics
- Screenings -- select screenings of notable new productions
- Expo -- technology and services exhibition for producers
- Networking Events -- structured and informal professional gatherings
What Filmmakers Should Know
The Produced By Conference is primarily oriented toward working producers rather than filmmakers seeking to premiere or sell films. For producers seeking professional development, industry contacts, and exposure to the latest trends in production, the conference is invaluable.
PGA membership is required for some events and provides additional access. Non-members can purchase conference passes with varying levels of access.
Festival History
The Produced By Conference was established in 2009 by the Producers Guild of America as a dedicated annual forum for its membership. The conference has grown into one of the most significant industry gatherings in Hollywood.
